Brian rubbed his eyes and blinked at the screen. The picture was getting blurry in front of his eyes. He rubbed them again with his thumb and index finger, then got up to grab his fourth coffee just to return to his desk a moment later.
For a moment he just stared at the screen when the results of his cross referencing popped up. A nation wide search of car thefts and cases that involved siblings. The piece of information he had gotten from the man at the race might be valuable after all.
Only 11 matches came up with the same last name or maiden name.
Brian ruled out the same sex ones because Joker had told him the people he was looking for were brother and sister.
By chance one of the people remaining had gotten a speeding ticket in the Keys which meant that they were near Miami.
Blinking again he grinned, let himself drop back in his chair and muttered 'Bingo'.

Only 30 minutes later he had the search warrant in hands and was calling Mira to get ready.
".....and bring the big gun. I'll pick you up in 20 minutes."

Mira sighed when the phone rang. She answered it and sat up in bed. It was Brian which meant he found a lead. " Okay see you then." She hung up and started to get dressed in her uniform. When is was time to put her vest on she hesitated remembering what had happened a few nights earlier. Thank god she had put it on that night. Picking it up she walked to the living room grabbing Max's vest from where it hung in the hall. Then she waited.

Brian could feel adrenaline pumping through his veins when he pulled up in front of Mira's apartment. He left the engine running, went around to the boot. His vest was in there together with guns, amunition and two radios.
The vest was new since his old one had been blood soaked and dented. Still he had an odd feeling when he pulled it over his head because he knew these people had no scruples shooting him. Pushing the odd feeling aside he tightened the velcro and shoved a magazine in both of his guns. One went in his holster, the other one in the back of is belt.
Then he looked at the door where Mira walked towards him with fast steps.
With a stern expression he showed her a sheet. "I might have found the girl. I have three guys with the same last name in Gables Estates. One of them might be her brother."
Then he pulled her tight and looked into her eyes. "It's not too late to back out. Nobody will blame you."

Mira walked outside Max fallowing carring his bullet proof vest in his mouth. She smiled alittle when she saw Brian. " I knew you were gonna say that..." She gestured to her uniform. "Does it look like I'm gonna back out now?" She kissed his cheek." Thanks for worrying about me but I am sticking with you and this case."

Max dropped his vest at Brian's feet staring up at him. Sure he didn't like this human but he knew if he wanted to go with he was the one he needed permission from.

Mira looked at Max. "He is asking if he can come and do his job." She glanced up at Brian her mismatched eyes meeting his blue ones praying he would say yes. It was always easy to feel more confident and safe with Max around.

The way she looked him in the eyes was irresistable. "How did I know you were going to say that? You fearless little cookie."

The fact that she wanted to take a dog was slightly irritating but Brian saw that she wanted her companion there.
"I guess he can only help." Brian nodded at the dog as if he could understand him.
"Does he listen really well? I mean when he's on the job? Cause Max sure as hell doesn't listen when it comes to sleeping on my bed."

She smiled. "He is a completely different dog when he is working." She knelt down and started to put Max's vest on him.
Max, who normally who be all over when someone was down on his leave, was standing still. Once his vest was clipped in place he ran over to the car and sat by the door waiting.
Mira smiled and stood back up. "Thank you Brian. I know you dont like Max but he is good at his job and Its nice to have his extra senses."

Brian opened the door for Max to jump in.
While he waited for Mira to sit down and then pulled onto the street he answered.
"It's not true that I don't like him. He doesn't like me!"
Quickly he shot a look at the new colleague in the backseat. "But one more partner is always welcome. Especially a loyal one."

The drive took a while because of the heavy traffic during rush hour.
Before they arrived Brian radioed their position to dispatch and informed them that they were going to make the arrest now.

"Let's do this." Brian leaned over to capture Miras lips in a kiss and then got out of the car.
"Go to the back and make sure nobody escapes.I'll ring the bell."

Mira nodded and let Max out of the car. "Time to go to work Max." She clipped the leash onto his collar and looked at Brian. "Be careful." She kissed him on the cheek before she grew her sidearm and made her way to the backyard.

Max stood at Mira's side as they waited his muscles tense ready to do his job.

She smiled alittle and pitied the girl if she decided to try and run. Sure she might out run her and Brian but there is no way to out run max.

Bracing himself for whatever may come Brian made sure his gun was in one of his hands and the safety off when he rang the bell of the expensive home. He had no idea how he would be greeted or whether he even had the right person.
His grip tightened around the bud of his gun while he tried to get a look inside through the glass insert.

The sound of the door bell interrupted her usual morning swim and her gaze wandered over towards Gabe who gave her one court nod of the head and moved from the pool and through the house. With a huff of breath she pulled herself up from the pool and wiped her feet on the towel left waiting for her.

“If that’s D and he forgot his keys again” She muttered shaking her head, but by the look on Gabe’s face as he opened the door let her know it wasn’t her brother. Swallowing she stepped behind him before he stepped out of the way.

“Officer” She rose a brow ever so slightly looking down to the gun in his hands, with slightly narrowed eyes she shifted her bikini clad body so she could fully look at him. “To what do I owe the pleasure” If Jack had ratted them out she would kill him, despite the fact there was no evidence linking them to the jackings of the cars.

Brian had been prepared for a lot but not a truly beautiful, dark haired woman in a bathing suit.
"I'm sorry to bother you. I'm officer O'Conner with the Miami PD. We have an outstanding speeding ticket and have to revoke the drivers license of Deon ...(what's his last name). Are you related to him?"
His eyes fell on the guy in the back ground who had first opened the door. Most likely it wasn't Deon-at least judging from the photo on his license.
Noticing the gun was still in his hand, he thumbed the safety on and put it in the holster at his side.

Mira walked back out to Brian and stood behind him. She put the safety back on her sidearm and put it back in the holster waiting to see what was gonna happen. The girl looked harmless but Mira knew looks could be deceiving. Mira herself was a good example of that. Max stood at her side waiting, hoping to get a chance to do his job.

Licking her lips she rose a brow at the man before her. Wondering what Dean had done to be stupid enough, sighing she folded her arms over her chest gaze lowering down to his weapon in which had finally hit the safety. Drawing her lower lip between her teeth eyeing the woman who had come to his side. Something wasn’t right. Something was wrong, seriously.

“Hes out of town” She stated leaning her body against the jam of the door, a small smile tugging the corners of her lips “out standing speeding ticket huh” she looked over her shoulder at Gabe a silent command for him to move and warn her brother the second he got a chance. Her gaze shifted back towards the officer.

“If that’s all” Her fingers reached for the door ready to close it when he left.

Over the years Brian had become quite good at reading peoples faces and body language. Her eyes and that little smirk told him that she felt superior, also that she was hiding something.
"Out of town...when will he be back?" He enquired. "We'll have to revoke his license. If you get a chance to speak to him, please let him know that he's not allowed to drive any more until further notice."
He fished for a thin, green piece of paper in his pocket, which he handed to her.

Her next sentence clearly gave away that she was toying with them. 'if that's all.'
"Did you expect anything else?" His foot was in the door before she could push it close. Not that Brian was stupid enough to enter the premises without a search warrant. His eyes quickly scanned the hallway behind her. Nobody was in sight except for expensive furniture.

Nat rose a brow at the man before her. He was beginning to slowly irritate her, but then again most cops did she had a feeling though this wasn’t as easy as a speeding ticket out of date. No they didn’t send armed and protected police for that. “hes in a business meeting with our father I wouldn’t expect him back until this evening” Licking her lips her gaze slowly lowered to the foot that had slid into the door way her brow rising more.

“Ill pass along your message officer now if you kindly move your foot from my doorway this is starting to borderline on police harassment” She however pulled the door open, he was clearly checking out the premises “You could always come and check for yourself but I assure you im all alone”

Letting out a breath she waited for him to respond or leave.

She was right so Brian pulled back his foot and turned his head towards his colleague.
"No, just give him the note." Hie gestured for the green slip in her hand.
Then he turned to leave hoping that Mira would come along.
On his way to the car he muttered. "She's hiding something. Did you see anybody out back?"
When they were back in the car he sighed. "We need a search warrant. What does she do for a living to afford that place? Can you find out?"
